This Is Hell have been forced to cancel all their non-local shows due to a transportation problem. Only the Syracuse and Albany shows will go on as planned. They explained:

Our van died on us yesterday and we are unable to make the majority of the shows on tour. We are going to be able to still play the Syracuse and Albany shows though. Apologies to all the other cities, we will do our best to be back there soon. Hope everyone has a good holiday, maybe Santa will bring us a new transmission, that would be great.

The band released Warbirds [7 inch] in 2009.

Paper and Plastick has signed Gainesville, Florida’s Greenland is Melting. Described as a “folk/bluegrass trio” akin to The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, and Langhorne Slim, the band had this to say about the signing:

We are super stoked and honored to be joining the Paper + Plastick roster. Being from Gainesville, it’s hard to not be influenced by the punk music that started here (Against Me!, Hot Water Music) and I would definitely say that our music has a bit of a punk shine to it.

The band will make their full length vinyl debut for the label in 2010, but in the meantime is giving away the album digitally, Our Hearts are Gold, Our Grass is Blue . Grab a copy here.
